52049er - from the perspective of a BA customer, well said. The airline's vast majority of great crew really do deserve far better than the waspish/grievance-riddled/vengeful/effeminate/entitlement-obsessed/crypto-communist/just-plain-thick BASSA hardcore... If this hardcore so detest the company which provides their employment, why don't they seek work in more congenial circumstances elsewhere? That's right. Because nobody else offers such good pay and so many attractive perks. Proper men and strong women who felt such grievance would vote with their feet - not a ballot paper. They would not continue to enjoy the benefits of employment under existing terms while seeking so hard to pull the entire edifice down upon everyone who works for it - the majority of whom would fight for their company, its brand and its future - not fight so selfishly (and with such stupidity) to either get their own way, or destroy it.
